JG, if you're interested in discovering Lynch but don't want to dive in head-first, try The Elephant Man (1980) and The Straight Story (1999). They're incredible, but very accessible too.
I did see The Elephant Man many, many years ago - didn't even realize he did it. It was cool, I'll have to rewatch it. I'll check'm both out.
My first head-first dive was Lost Highway, which I got a pre-release copy of when I worked for Polygram. Watched it stoned w/ a few friends and obviously had no idea WTF was going on. But then I watched it 2 or 3 times since and still have no idea...
PS - Blue Velvet's cool, Dune's okay, and Eraserhead is interesting to say the least (saw it in college, didn't get it, but it was hip at least )

I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol
